Clintons suffer mysterious memory loss during Epstein testimony

Both Hillary and Bill Clinton have now given testimony before a congressional panel looking into the crimes of serial child rapist Jeffrey Epstein. Despite the clintons’ frequent meetings with the vile Zionist billionaire, they both seem to have developed selective amnesia about their interactions with him. The former president said in his opening remarks:

You’ll often hear me say that I don’t recall. That might be unsatisfying. But I’m not going to say something I’m not sure of. This was all a long time ago. And I am bound by my oath not to speculate, or to guess.

This inability to recall is surprising, given what a significant role Epstein played in the lives of the Clintons. Earlier in the week, Hillary:

…confirmed that Epstein visited the White House 17 times – as suggested in the presidential mansion’s visitor records – during her husband’s presidency and had flown at least 27 times on the Epstein plane, which was nicknamed the “Lolita express”.

Clinton released a statement after he gave testimony, one that closely resembled his opening remarks to the panel. In it, the 42nd US president dishonestly described his dealings with Epstein as “limited interactions” and said he:

…never witnessed…any indication of what was truly going on…

Clintons forget, but remember they’re definitely innocent

Clinton offered a strange combination of recollection failures, alongside total certainty about his innocence, saying:

First, I had no idea of the crimes Epstein was committing. No matter how many photos they show of me, I have two things that at the end of the day matter far more than any interpretation of 20-year-old photos. I know what I saw and more importantly what I didn’t see. And I know what I did and more importantly what I didn’t do. I saw nothing and did nothing wrong.

Clinton featured in numerous suspicious photos among the Epstein files, including one of him in a hot tub with a person who appears to be a young girl or woman. Her face is blacked out in the file release. Another features Clinton with a young girl/woman on his lap. Again her identity has been protected.

In the statement, Clinton went on to defend his wife Hillary’s memory loss, saying:

She has no memory of ever even meeting him. She neither travelled with him nor visited any of his properties.

The Clintons seemingly did cut ties with Epstein after his 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution, but remained close to his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. She was honoured by the Clinton Global Initiative in 2013 and attended their daughter Chelsea’s wedding in 2010.

Both Clintons attempted to pass off their testimony as a service to their country, rather than the reality, which is that they would have faced prosecution for failing to appear. They had previously attempted to dodge scrutiny. Bill Clinton opined:

I [testified] for two reasons. First, I love my country, including our Constitution. And America was built on the idea that no person is above the law, even presidents, especially presidents, and that we should all live under the same set of rules. This kind of democracy requires every person to play their part.

And I hope that by being there today, we can bring ourselves just a little further away from the brink and back to being a country where we can disagree civilly and we can search for truth and justice and that it outweighs the partisan urge to score points and create spectacle.

No accountability, no justice for the victims

In reality, every US president has operated beyond the law. Clinton ought to be in the Hague for his crimes against the people of Iraq. Hillary is a similarly vile figure, a backer of so-called ‘Israel’s’ holocaust in Gaza. She too engaged in self-aggrandising rhetoric, concluding her opening statement by saying:

My challenge to you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Committee, is the same challenge I put to myself throughout my long service to this nation. How to be worthy of the trust the American people have given you. They expect statesmanship, not gamesmanship. Leading, not grandstanding. They expect you to use your power to get to the truth and to do more to help survivors of Epstein’s crimes as well as the millions more who are victims of sex trafficking.

This was a reference to the committee’s failure thus far to call before it the current criminal occupant of the White House, Donald Trump.  This is a fair point, as Trump is accused of multiple child rapes in the file release. Other documents related to the thug currently wrecking Iran are missing from the files released by the Department of Justice.

Trump’s non-appearance and his atrocities in Iran are yet further indications of the near total absence of accountability for powerful criminals, leaving the same sort of impunity that allowed Epstein to conduct his crimes in the first place.
